Leaving a Legacy
Director, DP, Editor -
Leaving a Legacy is a short documentary directed, shot, and edited by Maddy Reynolds, chronicling Chelsea Kimball's journey at Red Bull Rampage — the first year in the event's history to feature a women's category. The film chronicles Chelsea Kimball's journey alongside seven other female riders as they face the extraordinary challenges of competing at Rampage. From the grueling five-day process of designing and building their lines—moving literal mountains to craft rideable features—to the mental and physical demands of pushing their limits on some of the world’s most treacherous terrain, the athletes reveal the untold grit behind their daring descents. Through Chelsea’s triumphs and setbacks, Leaving a Legacy delves into the tenacity, vulnerability, and heart required to carve a new path in a traditionally male-dominated sport. This reflective and empowering story captures the profound artistry and courage behind breaking barriers in freeride mountain biking.
Footage utilized across the Red Bull, Specialized, and Pit Viper channels.
